As I contemplate the evolution of American society, the chorus to Jim Croce’s ‘Lover’s Cross’ echoes:
“Cause tables are meant for turnin’
And people are bound to change
And bridges are meant for burnin’
When the people and memories they join aren’t the same”
Maybe unintended but it fits on many levels, in many walks of life, for many reasons. Wisdom dictates that change is not only inevitable, but necessary. Most Americans expect change and will embrace it with vigor when it’s agreeable. Forced change, however, only leads to revolt.
Forced integration = an increase in race based divisiveness and race related crime. Affirmative Action = an increase in racial divisiveness, a reduced expectation of production and development because the best minorities take precedence ahead of the very best. Entitlement to one group of people will anger other peoples, and entitlement becomes pandemic. E.G.; Holocaust reparations. If you’re Jewish and can make any lofty claim to “holocaust” survivorship, you get money from an entitlement pool that several nation-states are mandated to contribute to. Non-Jewish survivors, veterans and their families that were all but destroyed by WWII service receive nothing, unless they’re White men, in which case they receive an associated guilt for being a White man.
In 2018 in the U.S., it’s so common to question the existence of God and to dismiss Jesus’ sacrifice and message to mankind, it is no longer provocative. It’s so commonplace to scoff at Christianity in the U.S., often accompanied by seething contempt, that’s it’s lost it’s edge. Yet, question the narrative of WWII, question the melodramatic term ‘holocaust’ for it’s substance and plausibility, you just might be sent to the dungeon and left to rot, if not stoned to death by the rabble on your way.
People’s lives get destroyed, people go to jail for questioning the narrative of WWII, but blasphemy flows freely. And not only is it this polarity that seems absurd, and the fact that there are so many survivors of Auschwitz that it’s a wonder anyone died there at all, but now lesser-educated minorities are trying to claim reparations for slavery from 200 years ago. Well, when does it end? Do descendants of the Napoleonic wars get to claim reparations next? What about the Spartans sacrifice to the Persians? Maybe the Greeks deserve a little help considering their sacrifice for western civilization at Thermopylae. Or perhaps in today’s warped terms, said Spartans were just 300 racists that tried to genocide the Persian Empire.
I’ve said this before and I will again: Prosperity must go around to come around in America. You know who you are out there and y’all can’t just keep scapegoating White men, and forcing them to give in and give up in order to achieve selfish gains. If we stay this course socially, Jim Croce’s song will echo louder and louder…
“Cause tables are meant for turnin’
And people are bound to change
And bridges are meant for burnin’
When the people and memories they join aren’t the same”
